The Strategy: The move integrates Rippl’s dementia expertise into Harbor’s “condition-focused care pathways.” By combining primary care with specialized dementia management, the goal is to prevent the behavioral crises that often send seniors to the ER. The Scale: The acquisition follows Harbor’s 2025 purchase of 32 VillageMD clinics. The combined entity will deploy these services across Texas (Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, El Paso) and expand into the Florida market. The “Condition-Pathway” Thesis Dementia is one of the most expensive conditions in healthcare, not because of the drugs used to treat it, but because of where the patients end up: the Emergency Room. When a senior with dementia becomes agitated or confused, families often have nowhere to turn but 911. Harbor Health’s model is built on the idea that generic primary care isn’t enough for complex patients. They build specific “pathways” for chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and pain. By adding Rippl, they are pluggi…

The Model: Atlas isn’t just a software vendor; it is a value-based care platform that assumes full medical cost risk. This means they are financially responsible for the total cost of a patient’s cancer journey, aligning their incentives with payers and patients. The Strategy: The company embeds interdisciplinary care teams (nurses, social workers, navigators) directly into oncology practices. By handling the complex social and clinical coordination “boots on the ground,” they aim to reduce avoidable hospitalizations and financial toxicity. The “Embedded” Difference Most digital health startups try to manage care from a distance—via apps, call centers, or remote monitoring. Atlas argues that cancer care requires a physical presence. The company’s model involves embedding interdisciplinary teams directly into the oncology practice. Who: Providers, nurses, patient navigators, and social workers. Where: Inside the clinic, working alongside the oncologist. Why: To handle the non-clinical friction—appointments, financial toxicities, psychosocial support—that often leads to “avoidable costs” like emergency room visits. “From the moment of diagnosis, patients…

Together, they aim to automate both patient access and the medical encounter itself. The Credibility: Secai has become the first and only voice AI to receive TGV certification from the Quebec Ministry of Health (August 2025), a massive validation of its safety and compliance in a highly regulated market. The Dual Engine: Voxira and NoteGen Secai is tackling the two biggest time-sinks in healthcare simultaneously: Voxira (The Front Desk): An autonomous voice receptionist that handles patient communications and appointment workflows. It ensures that no patient call goes unanswered, solving the access challenge created by staffing shortages. NoteGen (The Exam Room): A real-time documentation tool that integrates directly with Electronic Medical Records (EMR). It captures the patient encounter and structures the data, freeing the physician to focus on care. “Clinics are no longer asking whether they should use A…

The Problem: Despite massive digital transformation in healthcare, an estimated two-thirds of radiological images are still shared via physical discs (CDs). This “sneaker-net” approach delays care and frustrates patients. The Solution: By integrating Purview’s cloud platform, HealthMark aims to provide a “complete clinical picture,” allowing providers to access and view heavy DICOM imaging files instantly alongside standard medical records, regardless of where the care was delivered. Ditching the Disc The statistics driving this deal are startling. Industry experts estimate that nearly two-thirds of radiological images are still shared via physical media. In an urgent care scenario, waiting for a disc to be burned, mailed, or driven can delay critical treatment. Purview’s technology solves this by moving the entire process to the cloud. Ingestion: It simplifies the upload of complex DICOM files. Access: It allows for “diagnostic-quality” viewing on any browser, anywhere. Trust: The platform is already used by five of the top ten children’s hospit…

Healthcare professionals evaluating this shift must understand the current landscape of biometric adoption as well as the advantages, drawbacks and the careful steps required for a successful transition to biometric systems. How Prevalent Are Biometric Systems in Healthcare Today? Biometric security technologies are moving beyond early experimentation and into broader use across healthcare settings. In the United States, a significant share of healthcare organizations have adopted biometric authentication systems. About 78% of U.S. healthcare organizations use single‑factor biometric systems such as fingerprint or facial recognition for identity verification and secure access. This figure shows how biometric authentication is already integrated into clinical and administrative workflows. Biometrics are particularly common in areas where reliable identification is critical. Patient identification and tracking are one of the primary applications, accounting for a substantial portion of the healthcare biometrics market, as hospitals and clinics deploy systems to reduce misidentification, enhance patient safety and strengthen ac…

The announcement comes ahead of the ViVE 2026 and HIMSS26 conferences. The Problem: As healthcare rushes to adopt generative AI (like ambient scribes), there is a growing risk of “inaccurate, incomplete, or poorly structured data” entering the Electronic Health Record (EHR) without validation. The Tech: Medicomp is introducing a Model Context Protocol (MCP) layer that connects wild LLMs to its curated, 45-year-old clinical knowledge graph. This allows the system to identify and filter out “hallucinations” or inconsistent data before it is saved. The “Model Context Protocol” A key technical innovation in this release is the addition of a Model Context Protocol (MCP) layer. This architecture allows Medicomp to safely expose its APIs to AI models without giving the AI free rein over Patient Health Information (PHI). It acts as a bridge, allowing developers to build tools for: Diagnostic Prompting Chart Summarization Quality Measure Evaluation Coding Crosswalks By using the MCP, health tech developers can build “agentic” workflows—like asking a voice assistant to “filter this patient’s chart for all cardiac issues”—knowing the AI is retrieving structured, validated data …

The round included participation from NEA, Sequoia Capital, FPV, and Kinnevik. The Model: Unlike point solutions that often stall at the pilot stage, Anterior uses a “Forward Deployed Clinician” model. This means they embed their own clinicians alongside health plan staff to optimize AI accuracy and drive adoption. The Results: This hands-on approach has led to industry-leading metrics, including 99.24% clinical accuracy (validated by KLAS Research) and a 75% reduction in clinical review cycles for enterprise customers. The “Forward Deployed” Difference Anterior’s secret sauce is its “Forward Deployed Clinician” model. Instead of handing over software and walking away, Anterior embeds medical professionals to ensure the AI is accurate and adopted by staff. “AI in health plans is not struggling because of a technology gap, but because implementation is treated as an afterthought,” said Dr. Abdel Mahmoud, CEO of Anterior and a former Google Product Leader. “We built Anterior around a different premise: AI only works in healthcare when it’s deployed by clinicians, alongside clinicians.” This high-touch implementation has yielded impressiv…

The Gap: With cancer rates rising among young adults (80,000 U.S. diagnoses annually), fewer than 50% of patients report discussing fertility preservation with their oncologist before starting treatments like chemo or radiation that could leave them infertile. The Solution: The collaboration integrates Color’s oncologist-led cancer management with Maven’s family-building platform. This creates a “fast track” for patients to assess fertility risks and access preservation services (egg/sperm freezing) immediately upon diagnosis, before treatment windows close. Closing the 50% Gap The statistics driving this partnership are stark. While 80,000 young adults are diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. each year, fewer than half report that their oncologist discussed fertility preservation with them. This “silence” can be devastating. Once treatment begins, it is often too late to freeze eggs or sperm. The new program solves this by weaving fertility risk assessment directly into the routine cancer care flow. Immediate Triage: When a Color patient is identified as high-risk or diagnosed, they are connected to Maven’s specialized pathway. The “Dream Team”: Patients get access to a virtual squad including oncologists, fertility specialists, and mental health providers. Spee…

Most American families have never heard of it. The scale of America’s pediatric mental health crisis is staggering. One in five American children now lives with a mental health condition. Teenage depression rates have nearly doubled since 2009. Suicide is the second leading cause of death among adolescents. And four years after pediatricians declared a national emergency, emergency departments are still flooded with children in psychiatric crisis.

Healthcare’s tech stack has grown 73% in less than a decade, yet siloed systems, IT bottlenecks, and manual configuration continue to drive inefficiency and administrative overload. Early adopters report fuller schedules and double-digit reductions in administrative time, particularly in tackling costly challenges like patient no-shows. Keragon AI Redefines Healthcare Automation with Conversational, HIPAA-Compliant Workflow Building Keragon has launched an AI-powered healthcare automation platform designed to eliminate one of healthcare’s most persistent operational challenges: disconnected systems. As the healthcare technology ecosystem rapidly expands, organizations increasingly rely on dozens of digital tools that rarely communicate seamlessly. The result is workflow fragmentation, staff burnout, and mounting operational costs. While the first wave of healthcare automation aimed to address these issues, implementation often required manual configuration, engineering oversight, and ongoing IT involvement. For clinical and operational teams, automation frequently meant submitting tickets and waiting in technical queues rather than solving problems in real time. Keragon AI introduces a fundamentally different approach. Instead of complex setup processes, users simply describe the outcome they want to achieve. Through conv…

The Features: The update includes Chart-Aware Patient Summaries, Diagnostics (auto-extracting lab trends), and Coding (substantiating complex codes like G2211 based on patient history). The Proof: In a head-to-head evaluation at MultiCare Health System, Ambience beat out three leading competitors, achieving an NPS score 63 points higher than the runner-up and delivering over $13,000 in incremental annual revenue per clinician. From Transcription to Synthesis The shift from “scribe” to “chart-aware intelligence” has a tangible ROI. According to third-party evaluations cited by the company, the improved coding accuracy and documentation integrity result in more than $13,000 in incremental annual revenue per clinician, alongside a 40% reduction in documentation time. Most ambient AI tools on the market today are essentially sophisticated dictation software. Ambience is pivoting to become an “intelligence platform.” By understanding the chart, the system can perform tasks that a simple scribe cannot: Chart-Aware Diagnostics: Instead of a doctor manually hunting for lab results, the AI auto-extracts trends (e.g., “Creatinine has risen over the las…
